Ok so we've had a few championships already decided this Summer:

2017 Hopman Cup Winners: France (defeated USA 2-1)

2017 Brisbane International:

Grigor Dimitrov (Bulgaria) won the mens singles and Czech Karolína Plíšková has taken out the womens title.

The Women's only Hobart International begins today with some big names playing down south.

We have the APIA International here in Sydney already underway, and on Wednesday the exhibition Kooyong Classic gets underway.

Next week, the main event in Melbourne Park begins, the Australian Open. This will be the biggest one yet, with $50,000,000.00 in prize money to be given away, with, get this, both Mens and Womens singles winners both adding a record $3,700,000.00 to their career prize money.

Ready, and... PLAY!

I am really hoping for Eugenie Bouchard to prove something to her haters and hopefully go all the way in one of the tournaments this year. I feel for her, being a "victim of her own beauty" - receiving death threats for her appearance (jealous haters).

I'm also hoping Dominika Cibulková can build on her career high #5 ranking (current ranking) and go one better than her 2014 runner-up position at Melbourne Park.

From the Mens side, I hope anyone except Federer, Nadal, Murray and Joker go all the way. I'm really tired of the same 4 winning all the time.

Horrible at tennis. Absolutely horrible. It's actually disgraceful to think that Canada, a country known for winter sports, have 2 athletes better than the Aussies.

I got a better idea. How about Tennis Australia STOP the ridiculous amount of prize money for winners ($3.7 million EACH) and invest some of that money into our academy to develop better players.

The Australian Open is considered the least prestigious among the 4 majors, so, in my opinion, if we are the least prestigious, LET'S PAY WINNERS THE LEAST AMOUNT OF PRIZE MONEY FFS! But no, they chose to pay the most.

Brainless turds.

Would not surprise me to read in the future of him match fixing.

2 sets up, points away from a win, and nuked it.

And it happens far too often.

Shock of the tournament so far, and Nicks loss is small compared to this. Novak, world #2, has been eliminated by by a 30 year old qualifier, world #117. Wow!

Stosur should spend less time bench-pressing tractors and more time hitting tennis balls.

Well since Ana has "retired", and Sharapova was done for doping, Eugenie was the pinup girl for Womans Tennis wasn't she?

Or is there someone hotter I've overlooked?
